PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Inspired by the accomplishments of the British Olympic team Charles Morgan and Nick Trotman, of Malvern Cycles CIC, agreed that it would be an exciting project to create an innovative bicycle which combined modern technology and the best parts of historical bike design and on this day the "Morgan Two" Special Edition was born.

Morgan has a long standing reputation for taking traditional designs and reinvigorating them with new technologies and design passion, manufacturing unique driving experiences which appeal to the drivers senses. Malvern Cycles CIC, based in the long established purpose built premises Ivy Cycle Works, design bespoke bicycles with the same ethos. The bicycle must not only ride beautifully but look, feel and sound right.

Nick Trotman says “we are very excited to have this opportunity to work with Morgan and we are looking forward to working together at the Geneva Motor show when the bike is officially launched alongside the new models of cars”

The special edition revolves around cromoly 4130 double butted steel frame manufactured by Foffa of London, which makes it sturdy on the roads and at the same time light as steel can get. Track geometry allows for a more compact and upright posture ideal for fast cycling around town. The use of traditional Brooks saddles and grips provide a luxurious touch and a warm interface with the bike and modern pedals from DMR provide no nonsense grip and increase the riders confidence. Sturmey Archer’s innovative duo-matic 2-speed hub with back pedal brake is another unique feature. The hub allows the clean and simple lines of a single speed bike to be achieved with the flexibility of two gear ratios, simply pedal backwards a little to shift between the gears and you have a bike that is not just for the super fit but a usable town bike which is simple and fun. To further enhance the sensual experience of the special edition the hub has a unique sound in the same way that a three wheelers twin has a heartbeat all of its own the hub ticks in the higher gear in a warm sound that follows your progress along the road.

Finally to complete the picture braking is provided at the rear by the hubs back pedal brake, allowing for safe controlled braking without cluttering the look of this beautiful bicycle, while at the front a Shimano Tiagra calliper and TRP sealed bearing lever provides strong decisive stopping power.

The Special Edition bicycle, the first from Morgan Motor Company and Malvern Cycles is limited to a run of 50. Each bicycle offers a unique sense of excitement for an affordable £997 + VAT
